Common questions about fume cupboards for schools and colleges
Yes, our Academia range is specifically designed for educational environments. They meet CLEAPSS guidelines and are built to withstand the demands of teaching laboratories while providing excellent safety for students and staff.
CLEAPSS (Consortium of Local Education Authorities for the Provision of Science Services) provides health and safety guidance for science in schools. Our educational fume cupboards are designed to meet their recommendations for safe practical science.
Yes, our Centurion ductless fume cupboard is ideal for schools without existing extraction systems. It uses activated carbon filtration to safely handle a wide range of chemicals commonly used in education.
Our educational fume cupboards include airflow monitoring with visual alarms, safety glass sashes, rounded edges, and clear safety labelling. Optional features include sash stops and low-velocity alarms suitable for teaching environments.
Yes, we regularly retrofit fume cupboards into existing school labs. Our team will survey your space and recommend the best solution, whether ducted or ductless, to suit your building's infrastructure.
Fume cupboards require annual LEV testing and examination under COSHH regulations. We offer maintenance contracts for schools that include annual testing, filter replacement (for ductless units), and any necessary repairs.
We understand school budgets are tight. Our Academia range offers excellent value without compromising safety, and we can work with you to specify the right level of features for your needs and budget.
For most school chemistry applications, we recommend an average face velocity of 0.4-0.5 m/s with the sash at working height. Our fume cupboards are tested and certified to maintain safe containment at these rates.
